2. Insert the six (6) supplied studs in the holes shown below. Thread them in until they stop; tighten
with pliers, taking care not to damage the end of the threads or twist them off.
3. Place the VHX display in the original bezel, using care to not scratch the lens.
4. Lay masking tape across the entire gauge location to mark the cut line using the VHX
gauge cluster as a template. Use the studs to align the VHX unit; be sure all six studs
are in their respective holes in the dash.
